        Steve, if you plan on doing anything with Yagi's, I would
highly recommend K6STI's Yagi Optimizer (YO7) over EZNEC 3.0.  I have
both and YO7 is light-years ahead of EZNEC for modeling Yagi's.  EZNEC 
is more versatile for wire antennnas, etc. but don't even think twice 
about it if you are mainly interested in Yagi's!  K6STI can be contacted 
at k6sti@n2.net and I believe YO7 is now around $100.  It will do exactly
what you described above!  Here are a couple of screens which gives you 
an idea what it will do:
